  • Sports: Dance

  • Hobbies: Reading, Writing
  • Plans after High School: Attending Michigan State University (Or Wayne State) to study pre-med.
  • Favorite Quote: “At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines…that are way too dangerous to cross.” -Meredith Grey, “Grey’s Anatomy”
